Evaporator repair tips

The fridge and freezer are applying direct cooling system often leak at the evaporator because the object or frozen food directly above the evaporator so often the case where the incident ice gouging users of this evaporator surface. what would happen if the evaporator is leaking because the knife wound, a screwdriver or other sharp object that is used to clean the ice gouged or attached to the Evaporator? that moment will instantly sound like a hissing sound
nail punctured the tire of your car, if the tires will come out of the wind or air are different from the refrigerator will issue refrigrant or freon gas that smells and makes your breath shortness, if this occurs immediately unplug your refrigerator from the electrical outlet, this is to prevent further damage in the future if you intend to fix the refrigerator and it is no less important that you leave the area immediately around the fridge earlier and seek fresh air that you are breathing may be a little crowded because of inhaling the gas had become normal again.
how to cope with a leaking evaporator is not as simple as a leaking tire overcome this Evaporator made ​​of aluminum so that the process is more difficult and had to be a professional to handle it, well here I will explain how where when I work around this problem:

     Prepare a special glue to patch the evaporator (can be bought in store refrigeration engineering tools) but can also be used Araldite or Loctite, an area that is leaking must be completely clean and free from oil remnants that come out carried with freon this is important because as good any glue that will be useless if we use will be at the glue surfaces not clean.
     In order leaking area was completely clean and free of oil until it gets we can use liquid Freon R-11 (actually forbidden) for draining gentlemen perhaps just no residual water ice that melts in through the hole that leaked earlier, by using liquid freon R-11 all of which are in the line at the evaporator was going to run out.
     As shown in the figure, the blue area is the area that has more than one channel so that we can close the lanes by leveling the surface of the hollow beat until smooth manner using a plastic hammer or rubber mallet, then hampelas first until it runs out of paint and feels slightly rough .
     if it is a leak red diarea way as above do not apply because there is no longer a hole as an alternative channel of its flow of refrigerant as the blue area, you first have to patch the leak using a thin plate such as used beverage cans, are not necessary 1cm too big enough box or round but if the leak is large elongated eg 1cm then the plates had to be made ​​longer as well, this is to prevent the glue into the cavity to cover the freon lines earlier.
     When gluing process should take place first heat the area to be glued before using a hair dryer to warm-up, in this way proved to create a stronger glue stick and very hard when dry.

So please try this trick may be useful, if you appreciate the time and the leak was considered too difficult for the new replaced the evaporator should be patched.
